Imagine hearing the cries and screams of horror from people who you know will surely sink to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, as you sit safely in a lifeboat. Now imagine being in that lifeboat, with death all around you, and having one concern on your mind, and it is... “I’ll never be able to wear all of my new clothes from Paris! They sank with the Titanic!”
If you were Dorothy Gibson, you wouldn’t have to imagine it. That’s one of the many selfish thoughts that went through her head as 1,500 people were in the midst of losing their lives while she made her way safely onto a lifeboat that was never even loaded to full capacity.
In our modern times, many of us can’t help but to think of James Cameron’s Titanic film when we think of the actual 1912 sinking. Its big names and big budget special effects certainly made it a spectacle for the eye to remember. Yet, Titanic historians (and survivors when they were alive) preferred the 1958 film called A Night To Remember for its historical authenticity. It is often called the first Titanic movie, but it’s not.
The FIRST Titanic movie was called Saved From The Titanic and it was released in May of 1912 - just FOUR WEEKS after the disaster occurred. And its star was our Dorothy Gibson - the girl who was so sad about losing her brand new Parisian fashions in the wee morning hours of April 15, 1912. She was a silent film actress and this role was going to make her a bigger star than she already was. And the movie was made by her lover - a man who was married to another woman. But you know how the saying goes. Whatever is done in the dark…will come to the light. And the way that this adulterous affair came to be known by the public…was a scandal in and of itself.
Dorothy’s story has it all - sexual affairs, crazy court cases, a man in a night gown, and a stay in a Nazi concentration camp.
This is the story of one of the most self-absorbed first class passengers who boarded the Titanic. Silent film actress Dorothy Gibson. And she was a total hot mess.
